Are the rear speakers wireless?

No. The rear speakers are not wireless. They come with approximately 23' of wire. Since the wire is hard wired to speaker, you would have to splice to get any longer.

Yes. There is a receiver that connects to the rear speakers and wirelessly to the mail unit.

They are not wireless. I used Monster Cable for mine - they sound great for the price especially when matched with a decent sub woofer.

No they are not. I have been trying to research the setup on wireless speakers but there seems to be no video on it. But they connect to an adapter that then gets plugged into the wall. So picture the rear speakers with wires from them, to an adapter which plugs into the wall for power. Basically it comes in handy when you can run rear speakers underneath a couch and have access to an outlet. But if you want to mount the rear speakers I think you're better off running them through regular cable wire.

No, they mean surround like a satellite around the earth. You can buy a wireless unit to make them wireless. Wireless are more for just the two back speakers. But one thing to know as that they will still need to be plugged into the wall and wires will still have to go to the back speakers if you buy a wireless unit. Like a small box that will give the back speakers power and a signal will be plugged into the back wall with wires going to those back speakers. But with a wireless unit the wires will not have to go from the stereo/power unit to the back speakers. One note, I own these speakers and they are very awesome. The wires were easy to hide. Hope I helped:) No, they mean surround like a satellite around the earth. You can buy a wireless unit to make them wireless. Wireless are more for just the two back speakers.

The main receiver, left, right, and sub are all wired. There is; however, a wireless receiver for the two rear speakers. BUT, the speakers must have the wires fed into that receiver. So yes, it is wireless but not totally. You don't have to run wires through the ceiling or on the ground for the rear speakers, but they must be ran to the wireless receiver in some fashion. Hope that answers your question. Still a very great HTS, in my opinion.

It's wireless to the rear module, then wired to the rear speakers.This still helps cut down on cross-the-room wiring for me.

They should since the wireless is from the front to the back. The back speakers are wired into the rear control box.

You can add wired front and rear speakers. Not compatible with wireless as far as I know.

The rear speakers are wire-connected to the wi-fi device. It does not have an external microphone but it calibrates on the setup so it must have an integrated one

The speakers aren't wireless, but they come with their own wires. If you have a large room, you may need to purchase extra wire.

None of the speakers are wireless. I have found this unit to not operate satisfactorily. It has a lot of glitches. I can't get the two back speakers to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But it's very touchy about the disc and often has trouble reading it. Find a better system!

there's a wire between them. what is wireless is that there's a wireless receiver for the 2 rear speakers so there's no wires from the main receiver to the back speakers. this is a great system for the price. hope this helps.

No, they can't. Honestly though... I don't see any advantage because wireless rear speakers still need to be plugged into an outlet. These sound fantastic!

No... The rear speakers still need to receive power somehow so the system uses a receiver in the back of the room that plugs in and the speakers are wired into that receiver therefore you don't have wires that run from the back of the room to the front of the room where your stereo system would most likely be. The receiver in the back of the room wirelessly to the main stereo unit to receive sound.

The rear speakers have a powered box that you plug into, so it's not wireless but we like it a lot. Has great sound too. Set up was pretty easy.

I can not answer this as I returned the system without opening the box. The rear speakers are not wireless without an adaptor box and this piece was not available anywhere at the time I ordered the system.
